Carpal tunnel syndrome is surprisingly common in both prenatal and postpartum stages, due to fluid retention, repetitive movements, and hormonal shifts.
Pregnancy brings fluid shifts and hormonal changes that can cause swelling around the wrist.
After birth, it’s the repetitive daily movements—feeding, lifting, carrying, soothing—that put ongoing strain on your hands.
If you’re feeling tingling, pain, or weakness in your wrists or hands (especially at night), you’re not imagining it.
Massage can be a safe, supportive way to ease symptoms and bring you some much-needed relief.
Especially when done by a therapist who understands the demands of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

💛 Your body has been through a lot. Let it receive, too.

Have you ever noticed how surprisingly hard it can be to truly relax during a massage?
You’re made time for this massage, to relax… and yet, your body might still be holding on—just a little.
You lay on the massage table but your mind is racing at a hundred miles an hour. Sometimes, you might ‘help’ your therapist as they move your arm or leg - even when you don’t mean to.
It’s something I see often—and something many of us do without realizing.
And maybe… just maybe…how we show up on the table is quietly reflecting how we move through the rest of life.
Not always. But sometimes.
This isn’t about doing it “right.”
It’s just an invitation to notice.
💭 What shifts when we soften, even if it’s a little - and allow ourselves to receive with more ease? What if receiving with ease takes practice, too?

Let’s bust a myth:
💥 “A good massage must hurt.”
No, it doesn’t.
True deep tissue massage doesn’t leave you bruised or sore for days. It doesn’t force the body. It listens to it.
When your body feels safe, it opens up. It lets go.
That’s when the magic happens.
After 16 years and thousands of massages, I’ve learnt this:
✨ The most powerful bodywork meets the body where it is — with intention, presence, and respect.
You can feel deep relief without pain or tension.
Because healing doesn’t have to hurt.

Sixteen Years of Sacred Touch 🤲🏽
I still remember my very first KaHuna Bodywork training —
vivid, powerful, and completely transformational.
What I didn’t realise was that it marked the start of a lifelong love affair. 💛
16 years on, my hands have listened to and held thousands of stories — all without words.
They’ve learned to tune in, to honour each body, and to meet it with deep presence.
A while ago, I started wondering…
How long can this body keep going?
Should I start thinking about retirement?
But a conversation with a dear friend — a fellow KaHuna bodyworker — brought me home.
We both realised: KaHuna has become part of our DNA. 🧬
When we haven’t given in a while, something feels off.
We’re not as grounded, not as peaceful.
That’s when I reaffirmed my purpose.
KaHuna is more than a profession —
it’s a way of being. A sacred exchange.
Because in KaHuna, the giving is the receiving.
When you fully receive, I am nourished too. 🌊
That’s what sets KaHuna apart.
It touches both of us. It transforms both of us.
From then to now —
same hands (a little older 😉), deeper wisdom.
To all my clients —
Mahalo 🤍 for trusting me.

As a massage therapist for more than a decade, I’ve had the privilege of being allowed into the intimate space of my clients’ physical, mental and emotional worlds. And sometimes, this visit to their sanctums would leave a lasting memory for me.

Last night, I was in the neighbourhood of a former client whose teenage son had passed away from cancer. It took me back to the 2 weeks when I was his massage therapist prior to his passing. I was also massaging my client and her husband at the time, and for another 3 months after.

As I was leaving after the first session with him, she thanked me for not turning her down and not asking for a medical clearance. To be honest, that didn’t cross my mind. My job as a massage therapist, especially trained in Hawaiian massage, is to provide nurturing and loving touch, holding the intention for healing and harmony. It can’t go any other way but bring relief and comfort to the body, mind and spirit. And in this case, it includes the caregivers of their loved ones who are ill.

It’s been 17 months, I still remember walking into the house a few days after he had gone, feeling the absence of his presence and a sense of disbelief and sadness. My job is a privileged one and I believe there is no substitute for loving touch, a kind word or simply the silence of gentle presence.

Thank you for being here 🙏🏼 Let’s be kind to one another 🌺
